Chapter 286: Commentary
When Deng Zhi said this, it can be said that he already cares about Han Tong's face.
However, to Han Tong's ears, this is a joke.
"Your ministry, do you really think so?" Han Tong smiled and said, "Three years ago, when my Great Cang was just rising, your country used troops against my Cangguo several times, what is the reason?" ”
Deng Zhi didn't speak, three years ago, the war between the two countries was provoked by his Shengguo, but the final result was very unexpected.
Han Tong said to himself: "Since ancient times, it is the principle of heaven that the weak eat the strong, when my Cangguo was weak, you invaded the Shengguo, which is also reasonable, there is nothing to resent." Now that my Cangguo has annexed your Shengguo, it is the same reason. ”
Deng Zhi nodded: "Having said that, it is inevitable that the soldiers will have a pimple in their hearts. ”
Han Tong said: "Looking at the annexation of weak countries, which one is not a bloody massacre, and the people are not happy?" On the other hand, after the annexation of the Shengguo, the burden of the people's lives will be greatly reduced, and they will be rich and enjoy the opportunity to be a master, what is this? This is deliverance! I, Cangguo, am here to save the people of your Shengguo! ”
Deng Zhi opened his mouth, but he was irrefutable.
Indeed, the policy of Cangguo is too generous, the people in the country live and work in peace and contentment, and in those places that have been occupied, many people beat gongs and drums to welcome, saying that they are rescuing the people of Shengguo, which is not an exaggeration.
"In the end, our Cangjun treats the soldiers who return to obedience like brothers and sisters. In the eyes of the royal family and officials in the imperial court, these changes may be earth-shaking. However, for the common people and ordinary soldiers, it is just a change of country name and royal family, so how can the Min clan, how can He De let hundreds of thousands of soldiers fight for their clan? Is this the same purpose for you to join the army? ”
On Deng Zhi's forehead, there was faint sweat coming out.
It's not that he understands this truth, but because he suddenly understands why Cangguo is developing so rapidly.
Even a military general can divide the strategy so clearly, clearly understand his advantages and magic weapons to win, such a country is the most terrifying!
"I have a saying, the country is small and not humble, the strength is small and not afraid of the strong, the rude and insulting the neighbor, the greedy and clumsy friend, but also perish. These points, you Sheng Guo have all committed, but the monarch of your Sheng State is still a person who is afraid of responsibility, if my Cangguo is not defeated, isn't it a joke? ”
"Generalissimo and Deng, what do you want to say about talking so much?"
Deng Zhi is a little unpredictable, it stands to reason that Han Tong doesn't need to tell him these words, and even if he tells him, what can he change?
Pure show-off?
At this time, Deng Zhi had already abandoned this view, no matter from which point of view, this generalissimo of the Vermilion Bird Legion was a rational person, not a show of force.
"Can General Deng think that even without my Cangguo, your Shengguo will fall within a dozen years at most?" Han Tong asked sideways.
"This ......" Deng Zhi's heart sank.
"The general is a person who understands, he should know that today's Jin State is more domineering than the previous generation, and now it has been captured together with the Son of Heaven Wang Ji, and your Sheng State has always been implicated in it, and the population is large, and the border between the two countries is vast, so how can the Jin State not destroy you?"
Deng Zhi felt bitter in his heart, he didn't think about this problem well before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, isn't this the case?
"The general should know that more than a hundred years ago, there was not an inch of land bordering between the Sheng State and the Jin State, and what about it now? After sweeping all the way, Sheng Guo is the next target to be swept away, but now, this matter has been done by my Cangguo. ”
"Generalissimo means ......"
"Ben Shuai means that my Cangguo has annexed your Shengguo, for the monarchs and ministers of your Shengguo and the people, it is not a good thing, if it is annexed by the Jin State, it will not be treated so well." Han Tong seemed to be smiling.
Deng Zhi was silent, not because he didn't want to refute, but according to this set of theories, it seemed to be like this.
It's just that being able to annex other countries can be said to be so fresh and refined, and it can be regarded as a character.
Han Tong didn't continue the topic anymore, made a gesture of please, and said, "Everyone, please see, that is the war equipment that my Cang army relies on to win." ”
Equipment?
Is this finally the case?
Deng Zhi and the other generals secretly tightened their hearts.
After eating the hot pot and talking nonsense, is it finally time to serve the main course?
Just when everyone didn't know what the Cangjun did when they came down, they saw Han Tong get up, called a young general, and ordered: "You go and prepare immediately, and the commander will go to communicate with the generals for a while." ”
"Yes!"
The young general received the order, and immediately a group of soldiers came out, pulled those instruments to the open space, and arranged them neatly.
Under the leadership of Han Tong, everyone came to a repeating crossbow chariot.
Deng Zhi and the others were very surprised, it is not too much that this kind of war equipment can be said to be a military secret, Han Tong is going to invite everyone to watch it up close and give an explanation?
When did the relationship between the two armies become so close?
"Everyone, please see, this is the crossbow that my Cang army is currently equipped, and it can be said that my five major legions suppress the enemy's main force when they are fighting."
Han Tong picked up an unfixed repeater from the repeater chariot and handed it to Deng Zhi.
The latter hurriedly held it with both hands, not to mention the etiquette, just said that the weight of this crossbow could not be easily lifted with one hand.
Then, Deng Zhi lowered his head and looked carefully.
It's not the same!
Deng Zhi sighed in his heart.
Crossbows are not uncommon in the armies of various countries, and the crossbows of the Cang army, the Sheng army are also on the battlefield, and some have been obtained.
It can be said that the crossbows of Cangguo have been upgraded by a grade compared to the rest of the countries in terms of craftsmanship and power.
In fact, the crossbow can be said to be an improved version of the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow purely rely on the human arm strength to shoot the bow, to draw the bow while aiming at the same time, the bow delay is too long, and it is difficult for manpower to support.
The aiming time is very short, and when a long arrow is shot fifty or sixty paces away, it is difficult to get an accurate head.
In actual combat, this kind of powerful bow and arrow can only shoot people and horses at close range, but cannot cause damage to city walls, iron armor and shields.
The crossbow is different, the crossbow is a big bow equipped with a delay mechanism, relying on the greater strength of the feet, waist and knees to open the bow, and the machine-issued crossbow is a collection of dozens of people, hundreds of people to wind the bow with a winch, after winding, there is a fixed mechanism to buckle the arrow on the string first, and then calmly aim, and at the same time salvo.
In this way, the big and sharp giant arrow should be born from time to time, the battle force is intensive, the power of the strong crossbow and the big arrow is amazing, the giant arrow is a zhang long, the arrow shaft is like a thick wheel spoke, at least thicker than the arm of an ordinary person, and the arrow cluster is like a huge battle axe!
